ISSUE:

NCAA Division III Scrimmage Opportunities.

Sponsor legislation to permit all sports, individual and team, except for the sports of baseball, softball, lacrosse, rowing and water polo to be provided one preseason exempt team scrimmage/date of competition, conducted in privacy and provided each team does not miss class time, that may be conducted during the preseason practice period. All current scrimmage opportunities would be replaced by the new opportunity. The committee noted that spring sports have additional opportunities for competition and practice during the nontraditional segment, which eliminated the need to create an exempted scrimmage for those sports.

Sponsor legislation to permit one exempted scrimmage or scrimmage date (per sport requirement in Bylaw 17) conducted in privacy and with no missed class time, during the traditional preseason practice period for all sports.
